Chapter 281 - Episode 6: Night Talk_3

Lynch listened to his mother's words, too overwhelmed to say anything. Even though he had become a mage, and everyone he met feared, respected, and valued him, Lynch understood in his heart that this was not what he wanted. Being a mage was just a title, representing not only immense power and a wise mind but also great pressure and the world's wariness.

Lynch raised his head, wiping away his mother's tears with his right hand. He had long used the Illusion Technique to hide the fact he had lost his left arm, not daring to let his mother discover it. As for the Eye of Insight, he didn't dare use it here either. If his mother saw the prosthetic and the strange eye, it would surely frighten her terribly.
